Soccer is more than the world's favorite sport. It's more than the beautiful game. It's a guide to successful living, at least if you know what you're looking for. Ciaran McArdle has spent been an avid soccer fan his entire life. He's even built his entire career around it: founding multiple soccer-based businesses. Over the years, he's discovered all the life and business lessons you can learn from the game. Every successful player and every great team follow the same strategies:- They plan how to achieve their goals.
- They perform in every game.
- They recover and review their progress.
- And they build a team around the right principles.
Within each of these strategies, there are dozens of lessons you can implement in your life--such as how to organize your time, how to ensure focus on the tasks that really matter, and how to use failure to your advantage. Ciaran has assembled all these ideas and brought them together in The Soccer of Success. For anyone who loves the game and wants more out of their life and career, this is the way to do it.
